      Pros

      Good work life balance Good compensation Remote opportunities Great people in the director and below levels

      Cons

      Heavy work loads VPs and above still are a bit out of touch with how the world has changed since Covid. Sell off of fiber assets and treatment of employees going to new company

      Pros

      Great company, everyone was very welcoming and accommodating. Management was pretty laid back but still expected results. This role was remote btw.

      Cons

      No bad things to say

      Pros

      work life balance, excellent time off so long as manager doesn’t micromanage/track and limit FTO, nice people, leadership has turned the business around.

      Cons

      No pay raises even with great performance review (5years with zero raise) No career growth/progression - been on a high-performing team for 5 years and not one person on the team has been progressed or promoted during that time. Little opportunity for career advancement and growth New jobs within the company are going to external hires, not much grwoth for current employees
